Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking

Non-slip bath coating in Little Clacton, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Clacton

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Little Clacton

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths

When to call us in Little Clacton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Little Clacton. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Common questions in Little Clacton

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
